It's been two years since wax. Whats everyone using for wax?

My dealer advised Maguiers or any other wax that is non abrasive.

I use Collinite Fleeetwax on my boat and TT. The ritual takes me 3 days but its worth it for 2-3 yrs.Wash the victim with warm soapy water with a heavy dose of TSP to remove all the old wax.Polish to rub out scratches and apply 2 coats of wax.

Nu Finish in the orange plastic bottle. Nothing easier or lasts longer.

As always.... Opinions and YMMV. :C

Does it require buffing after applying? I'm looking for something that doesn't require buffing since we both have arthritis.

Depends on what you mean by "Buffing". Every product I have ever seen is a wax on wax off proposition and Nu Finish is no exception. Does it easily wipe off with just a soft cloth (old terry cloth towels work very well)? You betcha! :C

This sounds really good. I will try and have already passed the tip on to a few others.

I currently use Meguiars Cleaner Wax, but will try Collinite #845.

Meguiars cleaner wax or NuFinish (orange bottle) works for my stuff.

Zaino (www.zainobros.com) is my favorite. Looks astounding and lasts for about 6 months. Feels very slick and bugs and dirt wipe right off a fresh wax job. A bottle of #2 (or #5 if you have swirls) and some ZFX accelerator is all you need (don't let the web site intimidate you).

If it's been a few years, hit it with a clay bar first (any will work, can get a nice Mother's one at walmart).

If Zaino is too expensive, Meguiar's NXT tech wax is very similar and a close second.

I wax my MH twice a year and as it is a 2003 model it still looks like brand new. I use less than 1/2 a pint bottle of #845 to the entire MH.It is the easiest and best wax I have ever used. I sold two bottles on a recent trip to people that complemented on how shiny and new looking my MH was, they were impressed.

+1...since finding this several years ago, it's all I use on my vehicles. If you do get it, remember to stand-up the bottle in a pan of hot water for awhile to soften the thick "liquid" inside, and shake it well. Goes on very easy, use it sparingly, buffs-out easily.
I have used 303 Protectant and Lucas Slick Mist spray wax with fine results on the TT, they're easy but they don't last IMO.
